inTEgro Organizational and Leadership Integrity Model

inTEgro believes that effectiveness of leaders, teams and organizations is driven by integrity --

Identity - Knowing who we are, what we value and where we are going

Authenticity - Genuineness, truthfulness and acting on convictions

Alignment - Attunement to all stakeholders, and a sense of fit, or harmony - so what we do and how we do it are reflections of who we are

Accountability - Keeping promises, paying attention to what matters, and stewardship.

Individuals or teams can demonstrate integrity even when their organization is not.  Likewise, organizations can operate with integrity for the most part when that may not be true for pockets of individuals or teams in the organization.  High levels of integrity at all levels, and congruence among individual, team and organizational values create the most sustainable value.


The Organizational Integrity Survey

Use inTEgro’s 40-item Organizational Integrity Survey as a catalyst to strengthen these dimensions of organizational effectiveness:

Identity – clarity of purpose, values and direction
Authenticity – genuineness, truthfulness, facing reality and “walking the talk”
Alignment – balance, integration and unity
Accountability – measuring what matters, stewardship and fulfilling promises

inTEgro can compile results and summary statistics for multiple levels of respondents, and offers multiple report formats.  Following are sample Organizational Integrity Survey questions.  You can take inTEgro’s Leadership Integrity Survey free on the web by clicking here and receive an individual report that parallels dimensions of the organizational survey.
